Ready for a meat hangover? On Thursday, April 25, the Austin Food and Wine Alliance will transform the Salt Lick Bar-B-Que Pavillion into a meat lover’s paradise at its 3rd annual Live Fire! event. This meat-tastic event brings together 16 of Texas’ best chefs, including four James Beard nominees and a selection of the 2013 CultureMap Tastemaker Award finalists, to create innovative dishes featuring beef cooked over an open flame.

The menu ranges from traditional Texas, Mexican and Argentinian barbecue to more exotic ramen and curry dishes. Even desserts are getting in on the Live Fire! act with S’mores and a giant marshmallow roast.

You can always juice fast on Friday, but on Thursday prepare to be wowed by a celebration of all things beef, while investing in the future of Central Texas’ food culture. It’ll be worth the meat sweats. Live Fire!, Salt Lick Bar-B-Que Pavilion on Thursday, April 25, 6:30 – 9 p.m. Tickets are $75 each.
